The restored house of Captain de Malartic, dating back to the 14th, 17th and 18th centuries, with a separate garden and barn, in the heart of a bastide in France’s Landes department. The old square Place Royale is picturesque on all four sides: a 12th-century fort-like church stands on one side and arcades forming galleries line rows of houses, which are mostly half-timbered. The village is full of buildings that date back to periods between the 14th and 18th centuries. Almost all of them have been masterfully restored. They are hidden among the countless alleys that form a grid leading to the square. Today, this historical square is a hub for encounters and conviviality, fostered by the presence of several restaurants and a parking ban here. Nearby, artists’ studios and a range of curiosities line medieval streets. For example, there is a Protestant church built in 1607 that has been turned into an exhibition centre. On the square, the house lies opposite the church. The dwelling is known as the most beautiful house in Labastide-d'Armagnac. It has a ground floor, a first floor and a loft that could be converted. It is nestled on the square’s north-east corner, so it has two entrances beneath its galleries: one leads in from the square Place Royale and the other leads in from a side street. The house faces south-east. It stands on the edge of the square, blending harmoniously into its architectural environment. The dwelling is crowned with a roof of monk-and-nun tiling on which a gabled dormer stands. The facade’s upper section, made of brick and lattice-patterned timber framing, rests upon a thick stone wall and solid beams and joists, which are supported by two stone pillars – part of a former gallery of shops. On the first floor, three segmental-arch windows with crosspieces stand behind wrought-iron guardrails. They are fitted with wooden shutters. At the back, on the north side, there is a small terrace on the first floor. Lastly, in line with the house, there are two small rooms in a section with an entrance from outside: a fitness room with a wine cellar and lavatory and a space with a recent oil boiler and its tank.

A 19th century manor house in need of restoration, its outbuildings and 7 ha of wooded parklands in the rolling countryside of the Landes d'Armagnac in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region. The old 15th century noble residence has been converted into the present-day manor house, which has preserved its treasures. These include the late 19th century sculpted coat of arms of Baron Camont de Talence, the former owner of the property, adorning the mantelpiece of a marble fireplace within the manor house. The 7-hectare estate, which used to be a vineyard, enjoys surroundings protected from visual and noise disturbances. It is a 1-km walk from the village. The entrance to the estate from the main road is marked by a tall wrought iron gate framed by solid dressed stone pillars. The caretaker's lodge is on the left-hand side. A 600-metre bridle path runs through the grounds dotted with centuries-old oak trees to a lawned platform above the fields. The manor house stands in the centre of this natural setting. The driveway splits twice: once to go around the western edge of the estate and serve the fields and farm outbuildings built around a square courtyard, and again to reach the tenant farm and its outbuildings. Opposite the west facade of the manor house, an elongated building houses the stables. To the north, there is an old swimming pool with an unusual shape awaiting restoration. The bandstand, with its fine, ornate metal structure, adds a refined touch to the park. It forms the starting point for a shady path leading to spinneys crossed by a stream and then a river ensuring the irrigation of the land. The manor house extends over three storeys with a total floor area of some 650m², each level bathed in light. The functional layout facilitates easy renovation. During the renovation works, the tenant farmhouse, which has already been restored and offers a comfortable surface area, will provide the ideal refuge for future inhabitants, should the need arise.
